HOOKERS - WATCH WHERE YOU STEP

It's not Craigslist fault, first off, everybody advertises everything there, from Reno, Nevada to Rome, Italy. How in hell can you expect them to inspect and vet everything. I don't. BUT.....in my opinion, it is there.
     What do we call this? Prostitution, hookers, ladies of the night, ....what? So far as I know no one ever talked about money changing hands for anything.
      First, an American term, Hookers. It first saw the light of day during the American Civil War when the female camp followers trailed the any of Union General Joseph Hooker. Everywhere he went, the girls followed, They became known as Hookers girls, hence 'Hookers.'
      It stuck.
     Three friends of mine, I'll call them Colorado, Philly and Portland, cause that's where they live, have all tried their damndest to "hook up" with some lovely, pliable, willing, good looking agreeable females on Craigslist women-looking-for-men section.  All have run a fowl of the same problems.
      These "ladies" all say they ''FEAR' for their safety, and want them to register on a website and should they survive the background check, " sure, come on over and let's have a lot of SEX!!"
       Colorado let his little head rule his big head and put in his credit card number, and his cell phone went off, two minutes later with a bank alarm screaming ALERT...ALERT. Call us, Security Breach.
       He did, Turns out, he got hacked to the tune of a hundred bucks. Guess who?
       I quickly called the other two guys and warned them - they backed off. Then the e/mails really piled up. Portland said that one girl e/m him saying go to an adult shop that he knew of and "meet her there." ( No show). It was a well known bust out shop that had been raided and arrests had been made there before.
      " The girls voices were course and rough," he told me. " Each one of them sounded like she had been beaten up, or abused, they had a nasty sounding streak in them. They were tough babes, "  he told me. When they dragged them out into the police truck, they hardly had any clothes on at all, he said.  (I don't know WHAT he was expecting - a princess?)  desperate are we getting? Sexual contact between men and women has been going on since Adam & Eve and society has busted a gut trying to regulate it. We've passed laws trying to be the Sex Police, getting the public to conform to what OUR interpretation of sexual mores should be.

      The lives we are ruining by nailing people to a cross for nothing more than what two people, ....
two adults agree to do WITH each other in a bedroom is none of my business, your business and should be left alone. That's my view.  Admittedly sex  trafficking in children has go to the front of the line for police and prosecution attention. It is the root of all evil. That's where you start in my opinion. NO man (or woman) would dare defile a child.
      None of my three buddies got arrested got a phone call or a stop-by. So, big brother was not listening, or, considered it a no-big-deal. Did I mention that at no time, anyone mentioned MONEY?  This, as far as it went for my 3 Buds, was consensual lust, and nothing more.
